Here’s How Lousy Life Is in North Korea

citing yet another Western propaganda source in accordance with US party line?

 

[JakeStarkey]

IAW with facts, sharik.

You gave us the Potemkin village image, which is indeed propaganda.

 

[Moonglow]

I noticed in the pics there are no free roaming cats and dogs.......Only char-broiled ones..

 

[sharik]

Sharik, you misunderstand.

sorry, my English fails me at times, for its not my first language.

To be honest, that has been the case, at least in my experiences, the last forty years when I have visited SK.

Many Americans there develop a like for roasted puppy.

You can't argue their GDP
They are 197 out of 211 countries. You are welcome to provide another source

You can't argue their life expectancy of 69 which is reported by North Korea itself. I would guess their numbers ignore a lot of deaths

 

[sharik]

You gave us the Potemkin village image,

btw, Potemkin villages did in fact exist. Catherine The Great wasn't stupid or blind. European press of the time was no different from today West's and had concoted that story simply out of malice and jealousy for the Russian Empire's achievements, as it always has been with the West.

statistics is merely a propaganda tool. GDP is rigged.

you West folk live a considerable chunk of your life while being old and slaves to medics, farmacies and there bills.

You are a new poster

You obviously don't want to engage in serious discussion. If all evidence to the contrary is either "faked" or "western propaganda"...looks like your mind is made up

well, the West has always lied, i can testify in relation to my own country, so why it would go different about NK ?

The Potemkin villages are fact. The principle was used by Germany to create fake villages where Jews lived happily in Nazi Germany. NK does the same thing. The malice shown by Sharik is aforethought, thus deliberate fabrication of the poster's part.

 

[JakeStarkey]

sharik has been brainwashed and would make a good addition to our far right citizens.

don't know as to Germans, but in Russia under Catherine The Great's rule there was no way to pull tricks of that sort. Potemkin had to build real villages and he did build them.

i gave you photos and a witness account, and calling me brainwashed only shows how you personally are brainwashed and blinkered.

OK

Provide any data from Russia on North Koreas economy

I'm sure you can do that

I liked your photos, sharik, but a few photos prove nothing about general conditions in rural NK. Much of the time the rice growers are in danger of starvation, yes?

 

[martybegan]

It shows the power grid of North Korea compared to its neighbors

nk does have power outages every now and then, the picture shows the moment of blackout, should have been taken when all is ok in there.

LOL.

 

[sharik]

she has no data on it, only uses western sources, hence personal accounts are the only info to go by.

 

[sharik]

they prove that the country can do on its own, while under western sanctions, without world markets and, unlike the west, without robbing other countries and ripping off own people by taxation and fees.

no.

Got to be better than charred possum..

notice how CNN portrays NK - 3DPRK exhibition photos - CNN.com - done in a style as if there's no life there but only some weird goings on.
